    E-payment Security Lacking in US Web Shops.

    Public WiFi and internet in hotels, airports etc is horribly insecure all round the world. I'm having a hard time believing a Swedish or German ISP that you use for work or home internet connection to be any less safe than any other ISP. I do take your point however and agree that there is no...

    E-payment Security Lacking in US Web Shops.

    Great answer, thank you! The 3D-S 2.0 must be the new two step verification that's now commonplace with Swedish e-vendors. I like the added safety but there has been critique. Perhaps it's not the payment process itself that is where the theft occurred but how the e-vendor then stores your...

    E-payment Security Lacking in US Web Shops.

    I feel you, Cosmic. Over here we are almost there, hard cash is very seldom used. And small everyday payments to friends etc have been solved with an app allowing you to send small sums of money to peoples telephone number. It's convenient, but sure feels like you are working for the machine and...

    E-payment Security Lacking in US Web Shops.

    Large Internet retailers, this time with a large pipe tobacco retailer, last time it happened with large cigar retailer. In the EU online credit card purchases now requires two step validation, often with active link to your bank. Perhaps it's that I'm purchasing with European credit cards in...

    Woke up this morning to find that someone had used my personal information and credit card information to start a PayPal account in my name, they also tried to withdraw money from the card. Luckily my most excellent bank, Swedish Handelsbanken, had stopped the fraudulent transactions, locked the...

    Sons Of Anarchy Box Set.

    Have you seen the movie Fargo? It's a masterpiece. Never could get into the series Fargo, only saw a few minutes of the first episode as it felt like watching someone trying to repaint the sistine chapel.

    The Throne Or The Chair.

    You mean the "Rears and Sorebutts" catalog ? I've heard that the punched hole in the corner of farmers almanac was there so you could hang old editions in the outhouse and tear off pages as you needed them.

    Sons Of Anarchy Box Set.

    Saw the Wire a few years ago, as I remember it was verry good, probably top 10. Well worth a watch. Also the HBO series OZ from 1997 is amazing if you haven't seen it, such good acting and characters.
